Will be interesting to see who he’s paired with. Drury didn’t really find a great match unless they try him with Miller again and then reunite Borgen and Soucy.

If that pair could click the others fall into place but don’t have much confidence in Miller providing that stability Fox needs to play his game.

Soucy injured his ability to play hockey bone

If we decide to keep rolling Trocheck as 2C, then maybe we can make a run at Sam Bennett for 3C who will be a FA. Although Im pretty sure FLA will do what they can to resign him.

If we believe Trocheck should be the 3C, then I feel like there are 2 options. With the expectation that Lavy is fired and a new system is brought in. We pull Zib into a 2C role, which I believe he was always more suited for. Or we make a trade for one and leave Zib at RW.

Bennett is going to be criminally overpaid

Fair enough, but lets say for the next 2-3 yrs hes scoring at a ppg pace playing next to Miller. I think Im fine with it.

At his best, Mika was a PPG twice in his career, Id bet he wont do it again.

I count 3 times mika was a PPG player for entire season

The Rangers traded a 2nd and a 5th for Reilly Smith

Traded Reilly Smith for a 3rd and Brendan Brisson

Sent Brendan Brisson to the AHL

Traded that 3rd for Carson Soucy

Healthy scratched him

So Chris Drury traded a 2nd and a 5th has 0 to show for it tonight’s lineup

Lindgren in COL shows you how rotten this team really is.

Man to man system doesn’t work.

1-2 good games from him still a small sample. He’s had some bad ones too. Sheltered minutes and new system will help him long term probably

Everybody is pumped for tonight! lol

It makes sense why man on man D doesnt work here... we know we dont have the fastest, best skaters and asking them to man up on guys is a recipe for disaster. Thats why they constantly get skated by. When guys rotate and score in the slot, its not necessarily because someone is out of position, its because theyre simply not quick enough to make the defensive switches.

Yep it’s why they play well on the PK. Zone works for this personnel

Lavi refuses to adjust, don’t get it

I dont understand what it is with the coaches we get. Gallant had them playing the right way, but refused to make in-game adjustments and would get out coached. Lavy has them playing the wrong way for their skill set, refuses to acknowledge it and wont change.

Kinda tough to get excited about a team fighting for their playoff lives and have lost 4 of their last 5.

Yes you are right, boy was he on a tear before covid, 100 point season I would have bet!!

Its still hockey and they have most likely the best chance of taking that final wild card spot. If they make it, money in Dolans pocket, if not id want to know what was the reason for the break down that happened this season.

Im watching the womens college games now. All fun
